SEO Manager

Salary: $119K - $140K Location Type: Remote Employment Type: FullTime

Position Overview

At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it.

As an SEO Manager at Vanta, you’ll play a vital role in developing, executing, and scaling our SEO program. Reporting to the Senior SEO Manager on the Web team, you’ll partner with PMM, Content, Comms, and Brand Studio to execute on projects that boost Vanta’s search visibility across search engines and LLMs. The ultimate goal of the SEO program is to contribute to pipeline generation.

Responsibilities

• Help lead and implement comprehensive SEO and AEO strategies that increase organic traffic, brand visibility, and drive pipeline.
• Research, architect, and orchestrate ICP-centric content experiences—blog posts, content hubs, resources, and more—that engage and convert.
• Collaborate with PMM, Content, and security/compliance subject-matter experts to build and execute a SEO editorial roadmap aligned with product and messaging priorities.
• Create and manage a backlog of experiments and optimizations (FAQs, content layout tweaks, video integration, CTAs, schema markup, and more).
• Partner with Comms and external agencies on digital-PR initiatives that earn authoritative backlinks and brand mentions to amplify our brand search visibility.
• Monitor and evaluate SEO performance, report on key metrics, and refine tactics based on insights.

Requirements

• 3-5+ years of SEO experience – preferably in a high-growth enterprise SaaS business – with a record of delivering measurable growth.
• Proficiency in SEO tools, such as GA4, Google Search Console, SEMRush, Ahrefs, Sitebulb, etc.
• You are leveraging AI in your daily workflows to amplify your impact and output.
• You think like both a content strategist and engineer, balancing big-picture planning and refinement of defensible content systems.
• You are excited about optimizing for LLMs and adapting to the new zero-click paradigm.
• You are a strong collaborator and communicator who can build relationships with cross-functional teams and agencies.
• Experience with programmatic SEO, YouTube SEO, and localization strategies is a plus.

What You Can Expect as a Vantan

• Industry-competitive compensation
• 100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits with dependents coverage
• 16 weeks fully-paid parental Leave for all new parents
• Health & wellness and remote workplace stipends
